Great attitude, why are we not surprised! ^_^ And what do you mean "IF I can go"? Those of us that are Retired can pretty much Travel Anytime but most AUers that still work plan their Vacations around Train related Happenings such as National Train Day, 'Special" Trains, Mini-Gatherings, and of course "The Gathering!" You m entioned in another Post that you may have to Fly due to the time/distance thing, that's OK! Be There or Be Square!Update!
I got a very nice email from Customer Relations today. They apologized for the way things were handled in Dallas and said they would send a copy of my email to the manager at the Dallas station. Hopefully, that employee will receive some customer service training.
They went on to say that they, unfortunately, would not be able to reimburse my hotel and food, as my trip originated in Dallas and the cancellation was due to weather. That's understandable and matches the airlines' policies. I wasn't expecting any kind of refund, to be honest, and since my employer ended up reimbursing me after I sent the email, it's a moot point now. It would have been double-dipping.
That said, they did give me a $100 credit! I'm quite pleased. It doesn't expire until next February, so I will probably use it for our trip to ABQ this Thanksgiving, as I'll be using most of my points for the Gathering (if I can go).
